Started having contractions two day prior, every 10 minutes, but she wasn't ready yet to meet the world...
Saturday morning the contractions began to pick up in intensity, but I didn't let them slow me down! We went to Costco, hung around the house, and spent many hours in our room laboring - I wasn't ready either to head to the hospital! They finally were coming every 3 minutes by 8pm - so I decided maybe I should shower, blow dry my hair, and check my email! I was driving my mom CRAZY! The pain started getting almost unbrearable in the car ride over - and I think we hit every red light in town. We got to the hospital by 9pm - I was already at 5 cm - they quickly rushed to get me admitted - hooked up to the monitors - and before we knew it I was at 10 cm - screaming for some pain relief - and ready to push...but no doctor yet...

Here we are moments after the delivery - what a fast delivery
Night and day from the last time!
The next morning my parents brought Mason to meet his new sister!
This is what he wanted to wear - thankfully they left the knee and elbow pads at home.
Proud brother!
I asked Mason if he loves his sister and he said yes, I then asked him if he wanted to take her home and he said noooo
Here we are eagar to come home!
And she already found her thumb!
More to come...
